Chances to UCLA, UCB

<p>Hmm, you have a 3.7… most econ majors have 3.9, that’s seemingly the minimum. You could go a couple ways with this.</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Write a DAMN good personal statement with some strong extracurriculars and try to go straight into Econ. I truly believe political science may be easier. From what everyone says that math/econ thing seems easiest too…</p></li>
<li><p>UCB, I am not sure, you’ll have to Google that one or check their website… it took me a long time to learn how to navigate UCLA’s website, I am not about to learn Berkeley’s tonight. :stuck_out_tongue: Sorry, man…</p></li>
</ul>

<p>RE: your question about being stuck with political science…</p>

<p>I had a friend who got his undergraduate degree in communications. He worked as a lobbyist for a number of years for Israel (he’s Jewish American). After some time, he came back to the US and got into UCLA’s Anderson School of Management and got his MBA. He now works for Goldman Sachs. I don’t know if that’s something you were looking to do with your economics degree, but in America, you’ll never be stuck. :slight_smile: Some places like Sweden, if you go to a school for one certain specialization then you’re stuck doing that forever until you go to a school to learn a different trade…</p>
